We Don t believe in suppressing a Good six card major even when holding Fine support for partners suit so our vote goes to two hearts. That is _ a usually Quot is no synonymous with  when this hand was played in the life masters pairs championship some years ago. Most North South pairs opted to play in three no Trump rather than five clubs which would have had no play against accurate defense. Most wests led a Spade and Declarer rattled off nine fast tricks with the help of the Diamond finesse. When Hugh Ross and Erik Paulsen  East West Paulsen decided he did not want to give Declarer a free Spade trick. Since East had made a weak jump Overall on what had to be a ratty suit. West decided that his partner in ail likelihood had a trick in one of the Side suits. So Paulsen hit upon the ten of hearts As his opening a Lead and struck Good. Row won the first trick with the Ace and had no problem finding the killing shift. Back came the Queen of Spades pinning Dummy s Jack Declarer could do no better than cover with the King and Hope then watch helplessly while the defenders rattled off seven Spade tricks to rack up a four trick set. Not surprisingly East West earned a top score on the Board. North South failed to qualify for the next Stase. Q. A As South vulnerable you hold 4 6 a kq10984 j952 4 7 what is your opening bid a.
